The board of Lakeland dairies has held its base milk price at 30.15c/l excluding VAT for May milk supplies, but cut its support payment.
"While global market conditions remain difficult there has been some improvement in skim markets from a record low base and butter returns continue to carry milk prices," Chairman Alo Duffy said. “After a difficult late spring, the farmer owned and controlled Lakeland Dairies Co-operative is committed to paying the maximum possible milk price to our milk suppliers.”
